49 And they were taken with the stolen goods
Lin Qianqian and Lin Mingming quietly retreated, and after a safe distance from the place where the two of them went ashore, Lin Qianqian motioned for Lin Mingming to go ashore.
The bank of the river was not high, and the two of them grabbed the thatched roots on the bank and climbed up easily.
This road is the main road in the village, and there are many people walking around during the day, but at night the situation is completely different.
The lights are dark, and there is not even a shadow of a ghost.
Lin Qian was in front, Lin Ming was behind, and the two of them squatted and quietly moved towards the place where the two of them had come ashore.
Lin Qianqian moved forward, looking for the traces of the two men.
But when they arrived at the place where the two mysterious men had landed, the two mysterious men had long since disappeared.
Lin Qian was a little remorseful.
It seems that by the time they turned back and climbed ashore, the two mysterious men had already run away.
Just as she was about to beckon Lin Mingming home, a house near the village road suddenly turned on the light.
The lights were lit up in the thatched house, revealing the thin window paper, and the two figures were clearly visible, and most importantly, one of the figures was also carrying a large bag of things, wasn't that big bag the two mysterious people just now?
Lin Qianqian's doubts deepened in his heart.
She carefully identified the courtyard of that family and found that it was Wu Dahu's house?!
Her sixth sense told her that something must be wrong.
She thought about it secretly, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't come up with a reason.
She was about to give up and get ready to go home for dinner.
The door of Wu Dahu's house suddenly moved, and with the light shining in the house, Lin Qianqian saw clearly that the people who came out were Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu.
It was only at this moment that it dawned on her.
No wonder she thought that man's voice was so familiar just now, it turned out that the man who spoke just now was Wu Dahu, and the one who was shorter and kept silent should be Aunt Dahu.
Lin Qianqian saw Wu Dahu and his family come out, and pulled Lin Mingming to hide in the bushes on the side.
Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu walked out of the courtyard, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, they immediately slid down the riverbed and followed the previous path all the way to the back mountain.
Lin Qianqian and Lin Mingming followed carefully all the way.
Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu were in front, Lin Qianqian and Lin Mingming were behind, and the four of them walked west along the path behind the village.
After going through a fork in the road, Lin Qianqian finally understood the intentions of Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu.
The path around the back of the village is around the back of the whole village, and after going around the village, there will be two forks in the road, one leading to the back mountain and the other leading to the entrance of the village.
Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu definitely didn't want to leave the village, if they left the village, they would inevitably pass through the village, and the villagers at the entrance of the village would definitely notice them.
They hid their tracks so deeply, they would rather walk on the difficult riverbed, and specially walked around the path behind the village, first, because they didn't want anyone to pay attention to them, and second, they didn't want to leave the village at all.
Their purpose is the ancestral hall on the hillside at the entrance of the village!
In the ancestral hall, the horseshoe of the villagers digging up the mountain is stored in the past two days.
The result is already obvious, Wu Dahu and his family want to do a business for nothing, and take advantage of the dead of night to steal the horseshoe of the ancestral hall, obviously, the two bags of things that the two of them fought just now are undoubtedly horseshoe.
Lin Qianqian figured out the joints, and immediately leaned into Lin Mingming's ear and whispered a few words.
Lin Mingming nodded, and immediately rushed back as fast as he came.
*
Wu Dahu resisted a large bag of horses' hooves, tired and sweaty, but he was proud.
The people of Quxi Village are all fools, and they were fooled by the chief to go up the mountain to dig horses' hooves, and they could only divide 500 catties by digging dead and alive.
Or he was smart, and he took his mother-in-law back and forth twice a night, and easily got nearly 200 catties of horseshoe.
After this trip, go back tonight and rest first, and if you can get up in the second half of the night, then do two more trips, if not, then do it again tomorrow night.
In this way, wouldn't it be easy to get five hundred pounds of horseshoe?
The chief is also a fool, so many things are casually piled up in the side hall of the ancestral hall, I don't know how many catties I dig in a day, and I don't lock the door.
In such a favorable situation, if he doesn't take the opportunity to take some benefits, it will be too sorry for himself.
If he hadn't been able to expose himself casually, he would have wanted to whistle a few times now.
Wu Dahu walked all the way around the village against a large bag of horses' hooves, and finally reached the riverbank under the door of his house.
He turned to his mother-in-law and said, "You wait here, I'll go up first." ”
Aunt Dahu put down the big bag, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and let out a low "um".
Wu Dahu grabbed the thatch on the shore, climbed up with his feet, and when he was about to reach the top, he jumped up.
Before he could stand firmly, a basket suddenly fell from the sky, covering his head.
Wu Dahu didn't know what the situation was now, and immediately scolded: "Who? Who is plotting against Lao Tzu? If you have the ability, you can let me out. ”
didn't wait long for Wu Dahu to shout, he had already been tightly tied up by several people.
When his hands and feet were tightly tied, the basket on his head was removed.
At this moment, there are a few men on the country road, all of them holding torches in their hands, and the land is brightly lit.
After the back basket on Wu Dahu's head was taken down, the chief immediately slammed a serious face in front of him.
Aunt Tiger heard the movement above under the riverbed and wanted to climb up to help her man.
Before she could start moving, several torches suddenly lit up all over the riverbed, and several men quickly approached her with torches, and surrounded her at once.
Lin Dashi untied the big bag at Aunt Tiger's feet, and the round horse's hooves with fresh soil appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Several men exclaimed.
"Oh my God, Wu Dahu and her mother-in-law really went to steal things?"
"Our village has been peaceful for so long, I didn't expect such a thief to appear, it's really indispensable to guard against people."
.....
Li Chang shouted from above: "Dashi, bring the Liu family up." ”
Lin Dashi responded.
After a short time, Wu Dahu, who was helped strictly, and Aunt Dahu, who bowed her head and was silent, were taken to their own yard, and several men in the village surrounded them.
The lieutenant sat on a small bench in the courtyard, smoking a dry cigarette with an unpredictable expression on his face.
Lin Dashu broke into Wu Dahu's house with two men, resisted two big bags from the house, and opened them to see that the two big bags were full of horses' hooves.
Wu Xiaoqing hid in the house and didn't dare to come out.
The lieutenant knocked on the cigarette stick and asked aloud, "Big Tiger, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Wu Dahu shrugged his head and remained silent.
Aunt Tiger kept her head down.
"People have stolen money, so many pairs of eyes saw that you stole the hooves of the horses in the village, don't you want to admit it to this day?" The lieutenant said angrily.
Wu Dahu and Aunt Dahu continued to remain silent.
